Our Approach to Funding Scientific Research:
For all the health and well-being research funding disclosed below, the researchers:

are expected to conduct research that is factual, transparent, and designed objectively;

are expected to generate an appropriately phrased hypothesis and to conduct research that will answer the relevant questions, rather than favour a particular outcome;

have full control of the study design, the execution, and the collection, analysis and interpretation of the data;

are encouraged to publish; and

are expected to disclose their funding sources in all publications and public presentations of the data.

In no event does CCO have the right to prevent the publication of research results. Nor does CCO provide funding conditioned on the outcome of the research.

We have made a good-faith effort to disclose all the funding that meets the inclusion criteria. If we have unintentionally omitted something that meets those criteria, we will disclose it in one of our future updates, which we plan to provide every twelve months.

We have made a good faith effort to obtain permission from these organisations but have not secured it from every organisation. The total amount of funding provided to these organisations during the reporting period is approximately $26,228.

For purposes of this list, we use the term ‘partnership’ in an informal sense, referring to our relationship with entities based in New Zealand that have received funding from CCO or The Coca-Cola Company’s U.S. corporate headquarters to support their health and wellbeing programmes and communications activities conducted in New Zealand from 2010 to 2017.
